Two bronze plaques have been stolen from the Masonic Home Camp in Woodgate, Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol said.

On Jan. 17, two maintenance mechanics working for the camp noticed the plaques were missing from a monument, and reported it to site manager Andrew Croniser.

Croniser said he did not know how long they had been missing for and that the plaques have been a part of the camp for over forty years. The camp is home to hundreds of children campers during the summer.

One of the plaques was inscribed with “Flag Pole Corner” and had other wording underneath it. The second plaque was inscribed with, “In Memory of Dr. Willis F. Ford” and also had other wording on it. The exact cost of the bronze plaques was unknown.

Boonville Police Department had a similar report of a bronze memorial plaque stolen from the cemetery in the Village of Boonville last month. Anyone with information regarding the stolen plaques is asked to contact Deputy Neil Larrivey at 315-765-2712. All calls will be kept confidential.
